I Ellinor Fargher of Kibrick being weak and infirm in body but of good and perfect memory, praised by God, do make and declare my last will and testament in manner and form following. Imprimis, I commit my soul to God who created it, trusting through the merits and mediation of my blessed Saviour, to have free xxx and remission of all my sins, and my body to be decently buried at St. Peter’s Church at Peeltown in the grave of my former husband Richard Harrison. Item, I give and bequeath to the poor of KK Malew xx bowls of barley and to the poor of KK Patrick and Peeltown ten shillings. Item, I give and bequeath to my grandson Richard Harrison ten pounds, and in case he die before he come to 21 years of age, then it shall descend to his two sisters Alice and Anne Harrison. Item, I leave him one silver taxxx and a silver spoon. Item, I bequeath to my granddaughter Alice Harrison a choice furnished feather bed and likewise thirty pounds lodged in my cousin Jane Stevenson’s hands, which I appoint her to receive after my decease.

And to Mr Woods Vicar of KK Malew half a guinea and hope he will preach my funeral sermon. Item, to my cousin Jane Stevenson half a guinea. Whereas I promised my son in law Charles Moor ten pounds over and besides what is promised in his marriage contract, for which ten pounds he gave me a discharge which I put into a friend’s hand but cannot be found, I do therefore declare that there is not any of the said money unsatisfied, so that my Executors are freed from that encumbrance. Item, I bequeath to my loving son Henry Harrison a trunk, wherein there is five pounds, towards the expense of carrying my corpse to Peeltown of which if there be any overplus, it is to be his own. And lastly, I constitute and appoint my four children and granddaughter vizt., Henry, Margret, Mary, Marjery, and Alice Harrison to be joint Executors of all the rest of my goods moveable and immoveable whatsoever, and to see this my will fulfilled and that I be decently buried in their father’s grave, as I have above desired and appointed.
